Geochemical Kinetics is a textbook for graduate students and advanced undergraduate
students. This book is based on my courses on geochemical kinetics at the University of …

Experimental investigation of the fluid absent melting reaction biotite+ plagioclase+
A12SiOs+ quartz~ garnet+ K-feldspar+ melt at 10 kbar, indicated that melting began …

The compositional properties of garnet probably preserve the most extensive records of the
pressure-temperature-time (PTt) history of metamorphic rocks. There are a number of cation …

Petrologic studies and application of well-calibrated mineralogic thermometers and
barometers reveal several important features common to many granulite terrains:(1)" Peak" …

Many of the approaches in petrochronology are rooted in the assumption of equilibrium.
Diffusion is an expression of disequilibrium: the movement of mass in response to chemical …

There are three geothermometers based on reversed experimental data and applicable to
granulites: the two-pyroxene, two-oxide, and garnet-clinopyroxene thermometers. All have …

The large scale structure of the earth is caused by geodynamic processes which are
explained using energetic, kinematic and dynamic descriptions. While" geodynamic …

We present new experimental data on diffusion of divalent cations in almandine-spessartine
diffusion couples in graphite capsules in the PT range of 14–35 kb, 1100–1200° C. The …

Computer models of cooling granulite-facies rocks with the assemblage garnet+ biotite+
sillimanite+ K-feldspar±plagioclase+ quartz are presented that incorporate simultaneous …

Garnets from phlogopite harzburgite xenoliths from the Wesselton kimberlite show zoning
from low-Ca harzburgitic cores to rims with lherzolitic Ca-Cr relations. Garnet cores are …
